Antique Store Bottle Finds

A few weeks ago I managed to find these two bottles in a local antique store. Out of all the antique stores in Southern Cal I've ever visited, these finds take the cake, especially the Fenkhausen Whiskey fifth! As surprising as it was to find these bottles, the prices were equally exciting. The bottle on the right is an unembossed western square/bitters with an applied top. One collector has confirmed this to have been a once labeled bitters product from Red Bluff, CA. It might take another 10 years or more to find some more good bottles in an antique store....but the search is always part of the fun!
